"Countach!" Legend has it that Italian design guru Nuccio Bertone blurted out this exclamation the first time he saw the car codenamed Project 112 at his design studio in the early Seventies. A word used to express astonishment in the Piedmontese dialect, the name stuck to the Lamborghini that went on to be the most outrageous and legendary supercar ever. And it reigned as the undisputed class leader for 17 years, until it was finally replaced by the worthy Diablo in 1990.
